Same for me. Since two days I have the same problem. Mostly in the afternoons (CET) or evenings, mornings seem to be okay. Or sinkt triggered by the plane/region I fly in? My losses of bandwidth have so far only occurred when I flew the Analog Cessna 208 in Africa. Don’t know if this helps to narrow it down somehow. Ah, and I’m also from Germany.

This is just so frustrating. I bought hardware for several thousand euros. Only for the flight simulator. And it’s a matter of luck whether you can play after work or not! Just started and a few minutes later → Bandwidth Message.

Please finally fix the error or at least communicate the state of affairs. It’s been happening sporadically for months now.

It’s really no fun anymore!

Thanks for the reminder 
 have just voted :smiling_face:

It’s back again:

But with no CTD when enabling it again.

Same as well.

Problem of having the sim online for key aspects. It doesn’t work. Bored now of the constant connectivity issues - we need an offline autogen upgrade or otherwise, so it looks better when playing offline.

No we need a solution.
This is unacceptable !

Sigh, this is still an issue. Been having this problem for months now. It did feel better the week before, only getting the warning but reconnecting directly afterwards. I tried to do a few flights this week, all during different hours in the day. In all of them the bing maps and weather got turned off sooner or later. It looks worse than in FSX.

This just shows that the whole concept of streaming everything does not work. It’s just way too much data that‘s being sent around. And a classical case of how MSFS became a victim of it‘s own success. Is it the sever which isn‘t able to handle all those request, is it a western european relay that‘s limiting the traffic, who nows. But I also think that the whole fundament MSFS is build on was flawed from the start. And now all they can do is patchwork.

I‘ve invested so much money into computer, yokes, throttles, pedals, airplanes and scenery, which all make the decision to walk away harder, but I think it‘s time to look for another hobby. This is just becomming way to frustrating. Wife will be happy though :slight_smile:

What happens at the moment is this: to get photogrammetry back , you have to press escape, go back into the data settings, turn it back on and then wait several minutes for ‘apply and save’ to be processed. Then after around 5 minutes the bandwith message returns and so on and so on - a total immersion killer. If the servers can’t be fixed, it would aready improve the experience if you just got a quick notification that photogrammetry is switched off and the sim would try automatically to reactivate it when the servers allow it.

Exactly !!

It isn’t just photogrammetry that gets turned off. I could happily live without PG. At least for me, everything online gets turned off. That’s multiplayer (don’t care about that), but also Bing maps and live weather. ‘Online mode’ gets disabled completely. If I try to go into the settings and turn it back on, the sim hangs or even CTD.

wrong :wink: .. It need applications which have a different handling of how to load data and what do to in case of network problems. Cancel the whole flight, let the application crash, or other thing like show popups which nobody need, is not the “best way”. Therefore I assume it has the “bug-logged” flag that these application behavior will be improved , and may be also in parallel some issues with servers, networks, etc. “optimized”. But that not mean, that the whole concept will not work. That also simple show us the majority of players, which never see the popup and more important that I can fly in sceneries, for which I never ever would have enough free disc space to can fly that “offline”.

The problem is de loading time after the disconnect.
Bingdata etc enable again takes time.
So not a good idea.
We do everything to make this Sim as real as it gets and then we are good with all kind op pop-up messages and reload time and CTD"s.

Please do not PAUSE when this happens.
